Blaming the dog, the dsl, and everything else

Ok, ok, I know it has been a while. Before I start making excuses for my lack of blog-prowess, I'll just come out with what has really been happening! Top ten highlights are:

1. Went to the beach for Adam Brannon's 30th birthday. Had a blast; did some shopping; played putt-putt; drank wine; watched Wofford get killed on t.v.; played with our kid in the nicest beach house ever. EVER. Figured out that yelling (even if at a football game on tv) really upsets our child.

What's all that yelling for?

2. Visited with Mark, Erika, and McLain Roberts on our way back from the beach. Miss the Marion, SC family so much and can't wait to meet Baby Roberts!

3. Rocked the vote on Tuesday. JR was especially excited to wear his blue turtleneck in support of our favorite candidate. The polling ladies were excited to see such a politically-minded and socially conscience little boy, and I was excited that voting only took me ten minutes.

4. Watched JR go from crawling to pulling up and standing on just about anything in just under one week.

5. Saw Noises Off at the Chapman Cultural Center. By far the best play I have ever seen. Brought tears to my eyes and deep, rolling laughter from my lungs. Yay for date nights!

6. Took both Polk and Sadie to the vet....realized there is no spending money left for the month after the trip. So much for starting my Christmas shopping early.

7. Cheered on our Terriers...for the first half, at least, on Saturday! Congrats to those T-dogs for the 10th straight victory against the Citadel.

8. Visited with family friends Judy and Ron, up from Tallahassee...it is so wonderful to spend time with them!

9. Napped on Sunday afternoon. Enough said.

10. Realized JR must have another tooth coming in somewhere, what with all the drool and chewing and such. Just can't seem to figure out where that toofus will be!

So, there it is...the nutshell for the delay. No worries, I'll post more photos soon. My to-do list is full, but "download pictures" is on there somewhere....
